[Lit Terms Review Slideshow]
  1. When we have gone over the terms and ensured you have the correct definitions, CREATE a presentation for your literary terms in your "Literary Terms" folder
  2. Create a title slide with the name of the Lit Terms List (e.g. "Lit Terms 01") and your complete assignment heading (name, teacher, subject, date).
  3. On the next slides, use text and/or pictures to create an example of each lit term being used. Do NOT present the terms in the same order as the list, and do NOT include the answer on the slide. Be sure that your examples use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar. DO make sure to create an example slide for every one.
  4. On your final slide, list the answers for each slide in order.
  5. Save your completed slideshow as First Name Last Initial Literary Terms 1
